Thanks ! It was a great help to work on my Peltor Comtac Mount. Quite hard at first to mount the headset on the ARC Rails Adapters. After many tries, I use a simple method. I put the two pieces in place and use a Gerber multitool to clip them together. Really simple and fast....

One simple trick if u want to keep your arc rail adapter clicked in unscrew the arc rail adapter and put a Bungie under the metal and screw it back on and u don’t have to worry about it popping out

So once you decide to use ARC adapters you basically toss out the head band option right? There's no way to go back and forth?
@iskatetheplaza9 жыл бұрын
Eric Valdez I never cut the leather band on mine. I actually just stowed it under the pads so that if I did decide to run the headset plain, it would still have the leather sheath option. So it depends on how you break down the headset to put on the arc adapters

Not really, just get a cover for the head band.

Yes. The comtacs are designed to be worn under a helmet. Mine fit under my ACH just fine. With over the ear helmets, its still possible. The benefit of the setup in the video is you can pop the cups off your head and cool off while still hearing comms. Allows you to stay under night vision too.
